Nearly complete structure of bacteriophage DT57C reveals architecture of head-to-tail interface and lateral tail fibers

Abstract The T5 family of viruses are tailed bacteriophages characterized by a long non-contractile tail. The bacteriophage DT57C is closely related to the paradigmal T5 phage, though it recognizes a different receptor (BtuB) and features highly divergent lateral tail fibers (LTF). Considerable port...
